Ever wonder how we decide on conference locations?

It's a complex formula, taking into account:

  • enough space for our Expo Hall (upwards of 100,000 sq ft!)
  • plenty of breakout rooms (on average, we offer 8-12 breakout sessions at any given time!)
  • cost - to CPRS, to our Exhibitors, and to YOU - our attendees (if you'd like to know the cost of a gallon of coffee, not to mention to 'wi-fi enable' a convention center, call Stef!)
  • hotels - the more 'heads in beds' the better rate we get!  That's why we LOVE it when you stay in our specially selected hotels.  
  • all the fun stuff!  Yes, we also take into account the 'fun' in our host city - Palm Springs certainly brought that!

To lock in pricing, we typically book at least 3-4 years in advance.
